Last chance to see - 'The Stockdale Effect' at the Paul Stopler Gallery

Those who missed David Bailey's collaboration with fellow Brit, stylist Charlotte Stockdale, for i-D Magazine's 30th anniversary issue have a last chance to see the works up close and personal at London's Paul Stolper Gallery, where they are on show until 8 January 2011.

The Stockdale Effect (the works from which appeared in the Back To The Future issue), includes monochrome portraits, fashion images, still lifes - and quite a lot of supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw’s naked flesh. As well as Kershaw, Bailey’s latest body of work also stars Australian designer and Stockdale’s husband, Marc Newson, as well as the photographer’s youngest son, Sascha.

'Protection', the recurring theme of the series, materializes in the photographs through an array of diverse forms: from a high-waisted plaster cast skirt (Plastered) and an oversized transparent umbrella (Wet Dream), both of which firmly grid the model's body, to a crystal-encrusted mouth protector (Lips) and - perhaps somewhat predictably - a condom (and pearls) (Safe Sex Necklace).

The series, which were all taken at Bailey’s London studio during the summer of 2010, is the latest selection of Bailey's work to cross the increasingly blurred line between art and photography. 'Paint brushes and cameras are the same thing,' he says of the mediums. 'One is no more valid than the other. The camera is just a new instrument for making art.'
